TL;DR
- Every no-code.supply template comes as HTML and React. Three of them (Oda, Signal and Tender) also come as Framer.
- HTML: plain files, no build step, goes on any host. The easiest edition to hand to an AI agent.
- React: a Next.js project. Pick it if you'll keep building on the site, or you already live in React.
- Framer: a remix link. Pick it if you or your client edit in Framer's visual editor, by hand or with Framer Agent. You get no source files.
- Unsure? Get the Bundle (HTML + React) and decide later.
Why this post exists
I get the same question a lot: "Which edition should I buy?" The honest answer is that none of them is better. They're the same design, built for different ways of working.
So here's what's in each one, who it fits, and where it will annoy you. I make these templates, so I know the weak spots. Let's dig in!
The three editions at a glance
The design, the copy and the sections are the same in every edition. What changes is what you get to work with.
| HTML | React | Framer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you download | A folder of static files | A Next.js project | A remix link |
| Build step | None | npm install, npm run dev |
None, it's Framer |
| Where it runs | Any static host, or straight from disk | Vercel, Netlify or any static host | Framer hosting |
| You edit it in | Any code editor or AI agent | Any code editor or AI agent | Framer's visual editor, by hand or with Framer Agent |
| Source files | Yes | Yes | No, it stays a Framer project |
| Available for | Every template | Every template | Oda, Signal, Tender |
HTML: just files
The HTML edition is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Unzip it, double-click index.html, and the site opens. No accounts, no plugins, no framework.
In the zip: index.html, an assets folder with the CSS and JS, a 404.html, a privacy page and the usual extras (robots.txt, a web manifest). Plus a README.md, a DESIGN.md and an AGENTS.md.
It's for you if:
- You want the least amount of moving parts. Edit a file, refresh the page.
- You're putting it on a cheap or odd host: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, shared hosting, an S3 bucket.
- You want your AI coding agent to do the editing. There's nothing to install and nothing to break, and the
AGENTS.mdtells it the rules.
The trade-offs:
- No components or templating. If you add ten pages, you'll copy the header ten times.
- No CMS. Content lives in the HTML.
- Growing it into an app means switching to something else.
Every one of mine is built so it still works opened from disk, with no build step and no CDN. That's a rule, not an accident.
React: a project you can grow
The React edition is a Next.js 16 project with React 19, Tailwind 4 and Motion. It's set up as a static export. All the copy lives in one content file, so changing the words doesn't mean hunting through components.
You run npm install, then npm run dev, like any Next.js app. npm run check runs lint, typecheck and build in one go. It also ships with an AGENTS.md, a DESIGN.md and a README.md.
It's for you if:
- You already work in React or Next.js and want to build on top of the design.
- The site will grow: more pages, a CMS later, a form that talks to something, maybe an app section.
- You want components, types and a linter catching mistakes.
The trade-offs:
- You need Node and a terminal. That's a real hurdle if you've never used them.
- A bit more to maintain: dependencies update, and sooner or later you'll run an upgrade.
- For a five-section landing page that never changes, it's more machinery than you need. HTML does that job with less.
Framer: edit it visually, by hand or with Framer Agent
The Framer edition is the whole project, copied into your own Framer workspace through a remix link. That includes the pages, the CMS collections, the code components and the Framer Skills that teach Framer Agent how the site is built.
It's for you if:
- You design in Framer and want to restyle things in the visual editor by hand, or ask Framer Agent to do it, not write code.
- A client will edit the site themselves, and Framer's editor is what they know.
- You want hosting, publishing and a CMS in one place.
The trade-offs:
- No source files to hand to a code editor. The project stays inside Framer.
- You depend on Framer's platform and its pricing for hosting.
- Only three templates have one so far: Oda, Signal and Tender. You can buy it on its own, and it's also part of All-Access.
I come from Framer, so I'm fond of it. But "no code" has a flip side. If you want a developer to own the site, one of the code editions is a better start.
So which one?
Pick HTML if…
- you want the simplest thing that works, anywhere
- you'll edit it by hand or with an AI agent
- the site is a landing page or a small brochure site
Pick React if…
- you or your developer already use React
- you expect the site to keep growing
- you want components and a proper dev setup
Pick Framer if…
- you or your client edit in Framer's visual editor, by hand or with Framer Agent
- you want hosting and a CMS handled for you
- you don't need the source files
A rough rule: HTML for the fewest surprises, React for the longest runway, Framer for the least code.
Bundle, bundle-all and All-Access
- Bundle is HTML + React in one download. It makes sense when you're not sure yet. Prototype in HTML, move to React when the site outgrows it, or give a client the simple one and keep the other.
- HTML + React + Framer is the same idea for the three templates that have all three. It's for studios and freelancers who deliver in different tools depending on the client.
- All-Access is every template in every edition it comes in (HTML, React, and Framer where there is one), including the ones that arrive in later drops. It pays off if you'll use more than a couple of templates. It doesn't include Grit UI (the Framer UI kit) or the separately sold Framer code components.
If you only need one template for one site, one edition is plenty. Prices and what's included are on each template's page and on the All-Access page.
FAQ
Can I switch editions later?
Not by converting one into the other. They're separate builds of the same design. That's why the Bundle exists.
Is there any difference in design between editions?
No. The design, sections and copy are the same.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not for HTML, if you edit with an AI agent or just change text. React needs Node and a terminal. Framer needs neither.
Which edition is best with an AI coding agent?
HTML or React. Both ship with an AGENTS.md. HTML has nothing to install, so there's less that can go wrong. The Framer edition has its own Framer Skills for Framer's agent.
Do updates cost extra?
No. Updates to a template you own are free and show up in Polar's customer portal.
Wrap-up
If you're still stuck, start with HTML. It's the easiest to change your mind from, and you can always buy React later. The license and refunds pages spell out the details.
